------ OUT NOW ! ------
The latest version of the CCP4 Suite for protein crystallography is
now available on the CCP4 anonymous ftp server (ccp4a.dl.ac.uk or
148.79.112.134 - cd pub/ccp4). The CCP4 Suite is mirrored in San Diego
at rosebud.sdsc.edu (directory /pub/sdsc/xtal/CCP4 ) and in Japan
at pfweis.kek.jp (130.87.176.31 , directory /mirror/ccp4/ccp4 ), but
please allow some time for the mirror sites to be upgraded to the new
version.
In addition to a number of bug fixes and enhancements to
existing programs, this release includes the following new programs:
* DMMULTI: multi-xtal density modification package (Kevin Cowtan)
* RANTAN: Direct Method module for the determination of heavy atom
positions
in a macro-molecule structure or to determine a small molecule
structure
(Yao Jia-xing).
* SFCHECK: Structure factor checking (Alexei Vagin).
* SFTOOLS: Reflection data file utility program (Bart Hazes).
There are also new versions of PROCHECK (3.5), REFMAC (3.3),
RESTRAIN (4.6.9) and SCALA (2.4.2). There is a new script "duptree"
for setting up multiple installations from a common source directory,
and a preliminary installation procedure for the X-windows programs
(at present, only for IRIX, OSF1 and LINUX). There has been
significant progress on the linux/g77 installation, and most programs
should now compile and run under g77.
Details of all the changes can be found in the CHANGES file in the
top-level directory ($CCP4), and in $CCP4/html/CHANGESinV3_4.html.
